I think you should maybe hire someone just for the names...:p...no???

I've typed up the little scene where the hero and the girl meet the guy you drew...they meet him on the outskirts of the town; the hero is pulling the girl along behind him trying to get away from the town quickly - don't know why yet - and so the come to a crossroads. They don't know which way to go, so the hero just pulls her down one road...a bit further down the road they take is a big rock, the guy you drew is sat on the side that the hero can't see so he doesn't notice him as he rushes past. The guy on the rock sees the hero pulling along a girl, thinks he's doing it against her will, so shouts at him "What are you doing?" etc etc. Big fight follows, guy beaten literally trodden in mud. After some thought follows them, wanting to join team. Few days later he finds them in a clearing and presents his service to them.

I'll upload it later, when my floppy disc drive begins to work again...:p...thing is, I've written a lot before it, amd a bit after it, so I'm afraid you're gonna have to scan through it..

Also, I've made up my own colours of the guys clothing etc. for the moment...I'll change 'em when I see the colour version...

----------

My bad about the name, just found where we decided the name:

I have have a name for it. I'll type it this afternoon.

Lenny 2005-02-17 10:22 AM

So it isn't Tales of Eniluralor?

Draco2003 2005-02-17 02:54 PM

I have a HUGE plot twist. The girl that the main character likes is using him to get revenge on the main bad guy. SHE'S A USER!!!

Anyways, here is my dude all beaten up after a battle. He is missing a leg because I didn't feel like drawing it. I actually finished it about 20-30 mins after my previous post. I might draw some poses for him so you could do a sprite (rear, side, front views).

Wed-G 2005-02-20 07:07 PM

It is Tales of Eniluralor. with the dots over the o.

After a few weeks of development, I should have a demo! I just need a jump drive. Graphically, I used Mac and Blue chipsets. (KOE) and musically I think I have a good selection.

After I get chapter one together, you guys can take over. I'll do the coding so I can director all over it and shape it to our greatest advantage.

Wed-G<<<<Not Modest

Lenny 2005-02-21 12:15 PM

Sounds like fun...

Is this gonna be a proper demo of game thingy...or a trailer of what we can expect etc???

Wed-G 2005-02-22 05:07 PM

The demo will be only for us to use, not a full scale demo. but the thing is, the demo is more than a mb so I am not sure if I can upload it. Zelaron might not let me. unsure on the sites policy.

as for the trailer, it is what is to be expected. it has 'beautiful' graphics unlike the pre-beta demo. I have to go back and either make new ones or edit current ones to my liking.

still need to buy a jump drive.

Draco2003 2005-02-23 10:24 AM

Nevermind It won't show as an attachment


BlueCube Edit:
http://zelaron.com/forum/attachment....tid=3624&stc=1

EDIT:Thanks, Blue.
Anyways, here is a prototype icon if we could change the game icon to something different. I beleive we are Bladestar Productions, correct? HOO HAA my job is done. Can't wait to play the game. Good luck guys. :D just kidding.

Lenny 2005-02-23 12:05 PM

Whazzat???

BlueCube 2005-02-23 12:36 PM

The filename is "Bladestar Icon.bmp" so I'll assume it's.. the icon for Bladestar. If that's not the case, then I have no idea.

Edit: Wed-G, this thread is getting a bit long, heh. If you want, create a new thread with all the info you have so far in the first post, all nice and organized. I'll lock this one if you do so. That'll make this a bit easier to read for your team members, and it'll help you put everything together.

Lenny 2005-02-23 12:58 PM

Ah, so that's what it is.

I quite like this thread. It has all the random things we need. Many a time have I looked back at something that I'd forgotten...

Maybe if it could be condensed...say a summary of all the key points...I don't know...

Wed-G 2005-02-23 05:52 PM

Yeh, I guess we will make another. But if so, does this one get deleted?

And if so, could you(bluecube) do me a favor?

I don't have the time right now to compile every idea we have and I won't be on for a few days, so could you just grab the important stuff like the short stories to a word document and who wrote it and add it as an attachment first on the new thread, titled "BladeStar Pro. presents Tales of Eniluralör"?

or someone else, you know... :)

BlueCube 2005-02-23 08:55 PM

Tyrannicide contacted me and wanted me to mention that he still wants to help with the game, such as with the website/sketches/etc. You can contact him at:

http://img211.exs.cx/img211/3853/tyrannicide3pk.png

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

As to combining all the info - if you're really lazy we can always just start a new thread with a link back to this one, and you can always put any relevant info in the first post. A general storyline so far, for example - the discussion would still be contained in this thread, but you'd have a basic outline in the new thread. You should have a basic outline anyway, it'll make it much easier in the long run. Maybe a status report on the game, etc. Whatever you think is worth posting, go for it.

Lenny 2005-02-24 07:16 AM

DOn't forget there is always the original thread as well as this one...

We (as in Wed-G and I) will take Lenny's approach to describe the main character. We want to make him as heroically evil as possible. We want him to be able to become the strongest character(in the end) possible.

She never showed up... o_O

He he he...

Little problem with no. 5...I'm not American...:p...Lol...:p:p:p

And about no. 8...I'm a gradually getting there...I got the first 4 or 5 chapters written up on my comp...but, alas, my floppy drive is broken, and since I don't have USB ports or any internet connection for that comp...there is no way for me to transfer them to this comp and upload them...yet...

Draco2003 2005-03-01 02:52 PM

DAMN YOU INVENTOR OF THE DARN FLOPPY DRIVE!!!! So, what about getting a new computer? Maybe you could coerce your mom and dad into buying you a new one. Be all like, " Hey you know, my birthday is coming up, and..." and if they come out with, "You birthday isn't for 6 months!" just tell them that great minds dont wait for anybody, and by the time your next birthday comes around, you might not have such a great mind anymore, and you fear you might not even remember them o_O!

Lenny 2005-03-01 03:04 PM

Had my Bday start of Jan so...it's a nearly fixed...so...

Lenny 2005-03-02 01:03 PM

Sorry to double post, but I want people to see this...

Here is what I have found of the little story on this computer. The whole of what I have written is still on the comp with the broken floppy drive. This isn't half as much as what is 'stranded'...but I thought you might like to see it etc...

Lenny 2005-03-05 06:53 AM

By the way this is The fourth character info:

Race: Halfling (for dumb*** its a half elf half human.)
Weapon: Undecided
Magic: ofcourse (element not sure)

Aurvian 2005-03-08 07:37 PM

If im not on tomorrow its because of i forgot to log on at the computer at school so =\ but ill try and remeber.

Not to dis you or anything, but I thought a halfling was a short person. Half the size of a normal person. At least that's what it is according to D&D. Maybe you are going by something else?

Anyways, I haven't finished the pics for the sprite of that one guy. I am also going to be on less due to me learning 3 new languages. Those are Japanese, C++, and HTML. Okay so the last 2 aren't actually spoken, but they are very important in the new world of technology. Japanese has always interested me since I started watching DBZ on Saturdays at about 10-11 way back in like 97 I think. Way back when Raditz first landed. LOL, ever since then, I have been fascinated.

By the way, Aurvian, nice picture. And just a quick question, is his body facing away from us, and his head is facing us? One more thing, I like the way you left the sketch lines in the pic. I do the samething unless it is a copy I plan on doing something important with. It gives it that "classic artistic" look. Very professional.

EDIT: My timezone is Pacific, I believe. The time of this edit/post is 12:09 over here. I don't have anything to chat with, so I am S.O.L there. :(

Lenny 2005-03-09 01:21 PM

12:09 AM or PM???

At the mo it is...8:20 PM here...

Aurvian 2005-03-10 03:35 PM

Imma go to my friends house later and load the other pics I left my jump at home so... yea. draco your right, Nick is looking to the side and we have a viewpoint from behind him. Yo, you gotta let me see some of your work.

(Im behind you by five hours it says you posted it at 3pm my timezone, if u can get on at 1-2 my time or 6-7 your time then we can talk on AIM)

Wed-G 2005-03-10 04:57 PM

nice nice, yall* gotta love texas.

Yeh. I had to restart the game pro. cuz it lagged way to much. But now the engine is staight-clean and runs smooth.

Little info:

1(numpad) and 3(numpad) makes the on screen menu (menu, journal, save, ??) selector move. .(numpad) selects the menu item.

but for now I can't access my comp because of some electricity thing... anyway, I am central u.s. time. yeah. My yahoo name is wed_g2004 so if you want to message me, feel free... it is 6:00 here.

Lenny 2005-03-11 06:57 AM

So, time lists:

Me - GMT
Aurvian - GMT -5
Draco - Either GMT +6, or GMT -6...
Wed - Again, either GMT +6, or GMT -6...

I'm guessing that both Draco and Wed are 6 hours behind GMT...I can't be sure though...

Lenny 2005-03-13 05:42 AM

I've got good news and, of course, bad news for you all...

Good news. Tomorrow, I'm getting my computer back...with a floppy drive that works!!! :D:D:D

Bad news. My mum has got it into her head that I spend too much time on this computer (with the only internet access in the house), as is banning me from it for a week or so...:(:(:(

So, it looks like you've all gotta wait another week for my little thingy...sorry...

I think we are just a four-man team. we can still do it.

Anyway, a rundown on the engine. and I'm serious... this is all working systems.

The base engine is an on-screen menu 1(numpad) move the cursor left 3(numpad) move the cursor right. 0(numpad) is the selector(changed during debug the other day.) the icons to select range from menu(CMS), diary(won't be completed until the game is completed[due to vast amount of entries]), and save game.

It has a day-might system with a light-range system, depending on if you are inside or out. and a time system 1 minute is and hour game time.

and the menu system is alot better.

Lenny 2005-03-15 01:45 PM

Is it possible for us to have screenshots???

----------

I'm a gonna do the good news bad news routine again.

Good news. I'm still banned from the comp for a week. So I'm not allowed to go anywhere near it...naturally I am able to have max of an hour per day on it...:p

Bad news. No computer with fixed floppy. Haven't got it back yet...:(

Aurvian 2005-03-17 07:26 PM

Well besides this one Imma start one using 2k3 and experment with the scripting in xp... I think its kind of better game wise... I'll still work on this project aswell its just taking to long... o yea there is a way to put xp games online you just need a good server tho so it wont lag i think.. or use lan

Lenny 2005-03-19 04:22 AM

It's because none of us are actually communicating properly...and the fact that only a few of us are regular users, well...

Right, good news, good news routine for the last time:

Good news: Last day of my ban today! YAY!!!!!!! :grin:

Good news: I'm am definately getting my computer back today, with a fixed floppy drive. So by Tuesday, you will have what I've written so far! And that's a promise... :grin:

Aurvian 2005-03-21 09:46 AM

I want to say I have created a cool looking logo for us while messing with 2k3 and xp, i forgot to load it up so ill show it tomorrow at around 1pm eastern.

Imma hopefully get a new job this weeks so I can get my internet back... until then I'll just communicate through campus computers. Also I e-mailed tyrannicide to see if he is still helping... so we might be a five man team..

After messing with XP for awhile im think we should go to it most of its bugs can be fixed with the use of scripting. I've been playing with it seems easy plus if you have an error it tells you the exact line where it is present so...

your prob right I havent played buldersgate in awhile and I dont paly D&D (imma prob start since I want to have making games as a major)

Lenny 2005-03-21 10:02 AM

Wed said that...not me...:p...
Edit: 
You beat me to it...:p


If we're gonna use XP, then we won't be able to have little cut-scenes...rm2k3 is by far the better (compared to XP), so I say we use that...it got the better battle system as well so...

----------

Aiiee...you edit your post too much, I gotta edit mine all over again now...:p...in LOTR (book version) I seem to remember our Ent friend calling the hobbits halflings...so...
